Sutherland Brother,
By
This review is from: Diamonds and Gold (Audio CD)
Loved Quiver, then they joined with the boys Ian and Gavin Sutherland way, way back then. The boys had a couple of albums, and I've still got a Quiver album (rarity-offers please). They made some of the greatest music of all time (they wrote Sailing for god's sake).Ian wrote the more serious stuff - Real Love, Lifeboat, Laid back in Anger, while gavin wrote the more uplifting melodies and lyrics (Love on the Moon... and the base line on Dr. Dancer). If you are reading this review, and have not heard "The Pie" by the boys and Wullie and Tim and the bassist (Baxter?) - I think on the first collaborative album of the same name, then obtain it somehow and it will lift up your life. I promise. Gavin's Diamonds and Gold is a pared down Sutherland Brothers, but has all of his melody and idiosynchracies(?). Its pure Gavin in a kitchen sink and recorded in a garden hut? His voice has not changed that much (still singing the higher melodies, now to his own harmonies - shame). This album has some great and classic numbers, written by one of the greatest song writers alive. Dancing in the Kitchen is truly sublime and a pure delight - you just want it to be dark and quiet and just you and her.... Truly great. Try not to be to invigorated. It makes you want to place a piano in the kitchen so that you can dance there with your wife (or whoever)and just enjoy that moment of being close and enjoying each others company (rare event, eh). After the storm is pure Gavin - uplifting stuff. Lily's Bible is Gavin through and through. Quircky, Melodic, Catchy, Sing-along, Memorable. This album is brilliant and some of the songs are truly trademark Gavin. I heard he's back in his birthplace - Scotland. I hope he is not there to retire,as he is both too young and too talented to stop there. I would have given this album a 5, but the harmony of his brother is missing, and that just pulls it down about 0.1%. For a quiet, moving and uplifting night in, you cannot beat this offering. Enjoy to the full.

Some real gems in this collection of new songs from one of my all-time favourite writers. Acoustic music, plain and simple and as honest as the day is long. Nice one!
